Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: King at 5.0 against BlazePod's 4.2. King also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 12) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17.0). BlazePod's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (231 vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
